SYSTEM, METHOD, AND PROGRAM FOR AUTHENTICATING INFORMATION PROCESSING TERMINAL

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To protect benefit of a valid user having a use right of a system environment and to prevent a start of verification by unauthorized access when it is verified whether an apparatus configuration showing the system environment of an information processing terminal is normal or not.

SOLUTION: When user authentication is carried out by cooperatively using an apparatus 2 carrying a module 23 such as an SIM and a terminal 1 carrying a security chip 1 such as a TPM, apparatus verification can be carried out after surely authenticating a user having a use right of the information processing terminal 1. Consequently, when it is verified whether an apparatus configuration showing a system environment of the information processing terminal 1 is normal or not by using a security chip 12, the user having the use write of the system environment can be authenticated with its validity.
